All about Whittlesea

Located an hour north of Melbourne, Whittlesea is the largest suburb of Victoria’s capital, stretching out into the countryside and beyond to the mountains. The wider area of Whittlesea is primarily rural, earning it a reputation for straddling the divide between city living and the great outdoors. It’s also what makes the area so attractive to weekend visitors from Melbourne.

Home to wild reserves like the Toorourrong Reservoir Park, Whittlesea occupies a large part of the Plenty Valley, where the landscape is dotted with charming local markets, craft producers, and interesting historical buildings. Beyond the valley, the terrain rises up through fields and forest, culminating at Mount Disappointment. Anything but disappointing, Mount Disappointment State Forest is a haven for wildlife where you can enjoy everything from bushwalking and trail biking to horse riding and four-wheel driving.

What are the top things to do in Whittlesea?
